Email cut off at -----
@carlokok wrote:
hi,
I’ve had a user mail-in an issue with a line like:
Exception: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2.2 Address: 00000000 2.5 Type : EAccessViolation 2.6 Message: Access violation at address 00000000. Read of address 00000000.Problem is, it seems to see the ----- as a signature, and essentially throwing away everything after that. Is there any way to work around that?

Add link in user menu
@arjen wrote:
Dear Discourse community,
I’m trying to add a small section in the user dropdown menu, and have been unsuccessful so far. I know that I can add items to the hamburger-menu through the
decorateWidgetfunction. However, it doesn’t look like the user-menu has a way to hook into it. Since the items I want to add are user-related, I would like to be able to add these links there and not in the hamburger-menu.I have tried adding it in a plugin initialiser and simply add some DOM nodes, but the user-menu isn’t generated yet in the DOM before the user icon has been clicked.
Does anyone have any idea what the most graceful way of doing this is?
Kind regards,
Arjen

General guidelines for size of AWS Instance Types
@Ave wrote:
Guys I’m trying to figure out an instance type on aws for about 200 users a month using the platform about twice a day each. Is there a general rule of thumb I can follow to figure out what size instances I’d need to support the users.
The number seems pretty small, so I think I can get away with a medium instance, but I’d like to know if there are any scaling characteristics I should think about.

Allow disabling username suggestions for some login options
@ThiefMaster wrote:
For example, with Google OAuth you get a somewhat ugly name in the form of
Firstname_Lastname_Nickand a custom OAuth service we use sendsmd5(email)[:20]as the username for certain users (which is obviously awful, and even with the max username length set to 19 there’s a risk of people keeping this nonsense by just removing the last char if that’s not already done automatically…)

Automatically adding users to groups doesn't work all the time
@Bas wrote:
Hi,
We have a few custom groups set up so that known customers and partners are automatically added to the groups “Customers” and “Partners” respectively.
This works sometimes, but not all times.
E.g. some users with name@companyABC.com are in the group Customers, some arent.
Logs don’t seem to contain anything relevant to this (other than Sidekiq repeatedly running out of memory and restarting all the time, but that seems to be the expected behaviour).
We are not running SSO, we are using OAuth signupsHow can I start to debug this?
Thanks, Bas

[Paid] Add banner to Discourse
@Ingrid wrote:
What would you like done?
We would like to add a banner to the homepage containing a number of things:
- an image,
- a short text explaining the community
- buttons containing links to an animated video and a blog
- a member should be able to open and close the banner
I’ve made some mock-ups to explain our idea further.
Open banner:
Closed banner:
Ideally this would be a custom theme, which our programmers can adjust if needed.
When do you need it done?
Within the next 3-4 weeks.What is your budget, in $ USD that you can offer for this task?
Not sure how much work this is, we will pay for the time spend. Please let me know your estimation.

Hand-holding needed: Using regular expressions as Watched Words
@Southpaw wrote:
I’m trying to integrate regular expressions into an already-populated Watched Words list. I use only the “Censored” option. I must be doing everything wrong, and I’ll appreciate any assistance available. Here are the first two challenges I’m facing.
When I make no change except to check “Watched words are regular expressions” and click the green check mark to save that configuration, the word “should” suddenly becomes censored. If I uncheck “Watched words are regular expressions” and save, “should” is allowed again. “Should” is not on my list of 93 words.
When I tried to add regular expressions, an error message is returned. For example, I have a regular expression that I’ve tested and verified using https://regexr.com/ that is designed to censor E-mail addresses, except for staff e-mail addresses.
(\w+)@(?!(?:republicwireless).com(\s|$))(\w+).([a-zA-Z]{2,5})(\s|$)
I check “Watched words are regular expressions”, save, and refresh. I then enter that regular expression in the Watched Words field, and am told, “Sorry, an error has occurred.” Is there a different format for regular expressions I need to be using? I’ve tried it both with and without the open and close / mark.

Summary of current state of GDPR compliance
@Judith wrote:
We (diem25.org) are in the process of GDPR-proofing our operations. As others pointed out, the danger is not the authorities but the Abmahnanwälte, who are suing e.g. small personal blogs for lacking the legally-mandated two distinct ways of contacting the author, using images without licensing information and similar things, and who are collecting several hundred or several thousand Euros each time in settlement fees from these tiny one-person businesses. They will make a killing under the GDPR.
Here’s our understanding of what our Discourse instance should provide in order to be safe from such litigation. Can a team member please indicate which of these already exists or is in the works, so that we don’t invest time re-inventing the wheel or parallel-coding something that is already in the works?
Delete all - since social media posts have been ruled to be ‘personal data’, forum posts are likely to be interpreted to be the same, and fines are likely until someone goes to court over this. I heard that some forums wish to try their luck with a CC licensing of posts and anonymising only. This is not an option for us because in Germany, ownership can never be legally transferred, so the way the CC licensing works out is that you always retain the right to delete your own posts, without however gaining the right to force people who copied/quoted your posts to delete the quote. So the option to mass-delete one’s posts must exist. We wish to offer users the choice to either anonymise or truly delete their posts upon leaving our community and we hope that most will decide to anonymise. Ideally, deletion should have a safety hatch, e.g. being required to type ‘DELETE’ as in Mailchimp, or posts being marked as for-deletion in the database but only effectively being removed after one week without remorse.
Export all - JSON export of all rows of all tables that include the user’s ID. This seems simple to do, see e.g. GitHub - ziptofaf/gdpr-rails: An example project on building a GDPR compliant application . The legal purpose is twofold: a) to show the user what information is collected on them and b) allow them to import the data elsewhere, i.e. truly make them the owner of their data.
Auditable data processing - Companies are required to be able to provide, if requested, a log of their staff’s data processing actions. This may be covered by Discourse’s Moderator Log. However, does it cover everything? E.g. if an admin changes someone’s forum name for them, is that logged somewhere? It should be, at least internally, in order to be able to comply.
Consent management - We have taken note that companies now cannot sign people up to all their newsletters through their Terms and Conditions but have to get separate consent for each newsletter, detailing its purpose. Hence Discourse would be legally on much safer ground if, beyond the consent to the Terms and Conditions, the Send Me Forum Emails checkbox could be present already on the registration page.
Log deleted users - The GDPR states that users’ personal data must be deleted even from backups. As that is very difficult to do, short of the cryptographic solution that GitHub - ziptofaf/gdpr-rails: An example project on building a GDPR compliant application found, we shall simply keep no backups beyond the 30 days that we have to delete users. However, if someone deleted their account 2 days ago and we are forced to restore a backup from 3 days ago, that person’s data will be back in our system and won’t be getting removed within 30 days. Hence, the list of user IDs of deleted accounts should be stored somewhere (outside the database) in order to make it possible to delete them again while restoring a backup.
Removing personal data from logs, since logs are another form of storage. Should be as easy as adjusting the filter_parameter_logging.rb: gdpr-rails/filter_parameter_logging.rb at master · ziptofaf/gdpr-rails · GitHub
I have read some of the GDPR discussions about what is or isn’t necessary, what Discourse should or shouldn’t do, and I don’t want this post to become another one of those. Our lawyer’s interpretation of the law is this, so my only question is in how far Discourse does the listed things, or will do these things, and in how far we’ll have to code it on our own, through API or possibly a plugin for those organisations whose lawyers have the same understanding of what should be done.

Questions regarding Discourse features
@eLinda wrote:
Hi,
I’ve been using computer conferencing systems and forums since the early 1980s, and am one of the founders of online education in the world… I teach online, engage students in collaborative learning and teamwork online, as well as conduct research, publish my studies, and have also built the Learning Theory Collaborativism. Generally, over the past 30 years we have discovered that calculating time spent online is not necessarily a great indicator of the quality of engagement. But if you do use it in a comparative way (user v. group) it can have some value.Far better is comparing the # of messages or message volume/pp in a particular period. Comparision of the individual to the group discourse is also helpful.
Best of all, I believe, is to study the quality of the messages/discourse. I’m personally far more interested in discourse analysis, not just the quantity of messaging. Of especially important and interest is to code the transcript to sstudy if there a demonstrative change over time (i.e., progress in the quality of the discourse, the arguments used, references made, the positions taken).
Hence I am concerned tht the nature of the “discourse” in this forum is quite primitive (or perhaps I have not yet really seen its full features). Here is a brief list of features that I feel are essential…are they in the software? Are they easy to build in? 1. Are messages in a topic numbered? 2. Can I search by key word? chronology? reverse chronology? subject? sender? 3. can I sort the messages into various perspectives? 4. How are replies linked to comments? 5. Can I easily see/sort # of messages by sender? 6. Can I include a space for a keyword by each sender?
Can someone help me, pls? Thank you very much.
Cheers, Linda
